CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE PTS1 COMPLEXED TO THE TPR REGION OF HUMAN PEX5
|
OverviewOverview
Many proteins contain targeting signals within their sequences that, specify their delivery to particular organelles. The peroxisomal targeting, signal-1 (PTS1) is a C-terminal tripeptide that is sufficient to direct, proteins into peroxisomes. The PTS1 sequence closely approximates, Ser-Lys-Leu-COO-. PEX5, the receptor for PTS1, interacts with the signal, via a series of tetratricopeptide repeats (TPRs) within its C-terminal, half. Here we report the crystal structure of a fragment of human PEX5, that includes all seven predicted TPR motifs in complex with a, pentapeptide containing a PTS1 sequence. Two clusters of three TPRs almost, completely surround the peptide, while a hinge region, previously, identified as TPR4, forms a distinct structure that enables the two sets, of TPRs to form a single binding site. This structure reveals the, molecular basis for PTS1 recognition and demonstrates a novel mode of, TPR-peptide interaction.
